Divide dough into halves. Blend red food coloring into one half of dough. Roll one teaspoon of each color dough into a strip about 4 inches long. Place strips side by side; press lightly together and twist like rope.

Place on lightly greased (I spray lightly with cooking spray) cookie sheet and curve one end to form handle of cane. Bake about 9 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Oh wow it seems I stumbled upon your blog at the most perfect time! I'm baking Christmas cookies with my mom next week and I've been looking for unique recipes. This one is awesome! They look beautiful! :)

About Me
